We do it like Doc does. Epoxy finishing resin brushed on, being sure to get everything sealed well. Wipe off as much as you can with paper shop towels. Allow to cure, then scrape with utility knife blade. If painting, we use white primer. If the boat has any white, we just clear over the primer...

R4 Turn Fin- Sharprned [3461] - $24.00 : Welcome to Zippkits!, Model Boat Kits and Accessories!

Ric is correct. We abandoned the dihedral sponsons on the R4, largely due to his feedback. The production sponsons are inspired by Tom David and his mods to the 21 nitro boat. We realized that we could eliminate most of the sanding in these kits, and now they are just silly easy to build. The...

Thank you Mike for mentioning us. It's gonna hop! You can try it. I would start flattening the drive out and the hopping should lessen. The boat is way overpowered with that motor on 4S. Fun! The ski sets the overall AOA and helps reduce prop walk. It should balance at the back of the turn fin...

Let the bushing float. No problem with that.

That pipe looks way, way too short for a dry pipe. 7016/3 is an excellent prop. The carb looks like a copy of the 644. We ran them at 1-1/4 on both needles initially. Boat looks excellent! Good job! Joe

It already happened. We paid twice as much for our last pallet of wood. Now there is very little in the US, and it’s 400% more than last year. Add $1000 to ship a pallet from the Midwest, and we are out. They are saying that it will be at least 60 days until ply can get on the ship in Russia. It...

We like 14 inches in the Thunderboats. If using our dropped header, no need to measure. Put the pipe in until it hits the bend in the header, and pull it out 1/2 inch. Done. Start throwing props at it.

The kit includes blind nuts, screws and washers for just those reasons.

We are now hosting all of the free NE-Stuff files. I will let Niklas provide the details.

Hi Mike, Put me on the list for one of these cowlings. interested to see if there are any handling differences.

More cowlings should be here this weekend. If that happens, we have more kits ready to ship on Monday, May 17th. And thank you everyone for the kind words!

We notified everyone on the list at the same time. Then we went live. No specific order of notification. Kits are available now! Cowls are streaming in as material becomes available, so get them soon... G30 Tunnel Hull Kit [6516] - $89.00 : Welcome to Zippkits!, Model Boat Kits and Accessories!

Great News! Cowlings were shipped! We should be able to begin shipping later this week. Once we have the kits ready, we will notify those on the list. We won't hold any or do any pre-sales, sorry. We tried that once and it bit us hard... If you want to be notified, simply email us.

Yes. The G48 will be gas, and maybe 10-12S electric.

We are just waiting on cowlings, and he is waiting for material. Everything has been a struggle lately (for obvious reasons), but I think that the extra time only helped the project. We are very proud of this endeavor, and the collaboration that made it happen. As far as construction, we have...

It has been "officially legal" since late 2016. It is an excellent way for people to get hooked...

I always said that I wanted not a bigger piece of the pie, but a bigger pie... The more people we have, the better for everyone. It is critical that we all try to grow the sport any way we can. A few years ago, I came up with a "guest" pass for new people interested in trying an RC boat. It...

Thanks Bob! I will give him a call. I have run some FE stuff there a few times.
